Predictions and Sentiments

Last year, we asked respondents where game engine technology and generative AI were taking their industries. This year, we asked again, and the conversation has only gotten sharper. 

We took those insights straight to our team of Perforce experts, pairing frontline predictions with hands-on analysis. The result is a real dialogue: practitioners on the ground meeting specialists who see these shifts play out across studios and teams. 

Below, you'll find direct quotes from survey respondents alongside our team's take, giving you both the view from the trenches and the context to know what it means for 2026.
